External Identity Providers

Registered by Joe Savak

As OpenStack gains enterprise traction, the need to allow non-Keystone identities to log-in to Horizon or execute APIs becomes more relevant. Consider the following use-cases:

    Acme has their own cloud setup running Keystone against their back-end Active Directory. They would like to automatically burst VM provisioning and/or utilization to a public cloud service provider according to capacity and usage rules.
They would like to enable identity federation so there is only one credential set needed between the 2 clouds.
